The Sanyo MBC550 is a pc clone which is >>sort of<< compatible with the
IBM PC. Is there any known way to doctor this machine into full compatibility?
As I understand, one of the problems is a non-standard video driver board,
is this the only problem and will a new board fix everything? Also, is the
floppy disk driver non-compatible... we've had some probs reading disks written
on a Z-161 in the Sanyo. If the problem is more complex than replacing a few
boards, what about swapping in new BIOS roms for whatever is in there now?
Comments, clues, or suggestions appreciated. If a new mother board is the
only way to go, how useful are the other boards... could they be plugged right
back in, or would wholesale replacement be the order of the day?
I'm looking for el-cheapo technique to get full compatability, any ideas
net-land?
